Enhancing of Self-Referenced Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution with Virtual Photon Subtraction

The scheme of the self-referenced continuous-variable quantum key distribution (SR CV-QKD) has been experimentally demonstrated. However, because of the finite dynamics of Alice’s amplitude modulator, there will be an extra excess noise that is proportional to the amplitude of the referenc...
